peace sign emoji
A peace sign emoji features a hand making a V sign, often symbolizing peace or victory, with a medium-light skin tone.
There are different emoji meanings for peace sign emoji in different cultures:
- Western culture
- Widely recognized as a peace sign (especially since the 1960s counterculture) or a victory sign. Less commonly, it can also mean the number two.
- East Asian culture
- Very commonly used in photos as a cheerful pose, often for 'cute' or playful effect, sometimes without the specific 'peace' or 'victory' connotation. In Japan, it can be associated with 'peace' or 'pīsu' (from English 'peace').
- United Kingdom/Australia/New Zealand (palm inwards)
- If the palm is facing inwards (back of hand outwards) in these regions, it is considered an offensive insult, equivalent to flipping the middle finger. However, the emoji typically depicts the palm outwards, so it's usually safe.
